Project

Customer          N. Lohmann GmbH

Installation        September 2019

Used product    ALTUMA RubiLux (W2R)

Result

Calming red wavelengths create a relaxed atmosphere in the stable. This allows animals to lay more eggs with simultaneously reduced stress levels.

Due to the modular design of ALTUMA luminaire, we are always able to switch to white light, which allows the trouble-free and thorough cleaning of the plant.
